Flickr user Consuelo Valdes wanted a little nature with her desktop widgets, and didn't want to sacrifice seeing her wallpaper for the convenience of checking her favorite feeds on the desktop. The end-result is this beautiful desktop.

The Imposion 2 skin for Rainmeter to get the system monitors in the upper right corner of the screen

The Omnimo theme for Rainmeter to get the RSS feeds and quick-access links on the left side of the screen

The CornerClock skin for Rainmeter to get the large clock in the lower-right corner of the display

That's all there is to it! This one is pretty easy to configure, and you could swap out the wallpaper or change the sizes of the clock, feeds, or widgets to suit the display size you have pretty easily. If you have trouble making this one your own, check out our guide to Rainmeter to help you get a leg up, or head over to Consuelo's Flickr page to ask how she got it all to work.
